BRIO54 Starts Efficient Home Prototype

BRIO54, a design-driven development firm, recently began construction on a prototype of their H4 design in Milford, Connecticut. The firm took the H4 through extensive planning and fine tuning in order to construct something with style and a light environmental footprint. The 2,264 square-foot, three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home should be quite energy efficient.

BRIO54’s H4 prototype will be built with a tight envelope and R49 flooring, R26 walls, and R49 roofing. The zebra finish shown is accomplished with alternating charcoal gray and arctic white Hardie Plank lap siding (which is a bold choice, indeed).

BRIO54 is publishing behind the scenes video of the entire construction process on their site. Should be fun to follow the progress. The H4 prototype is being built at 162 Hillside Avenue in Milford, Connecticut.

It seems like they could have just used shipping container sides (which seem to be quite the thing now, based on the number of Jetson Green posts about them!) for the walls and would have gotten that zebra effect without having to paint!
